Congressman Smalls. the colored repre-
sentative il Congress from South Car
DINA. in the 49th Congress, and who was
defrauded out of his election in the 50th
Congress, has given notice Of contest.
His district contains $4,000 Republican
majority, but by the peculiar methods Of
the Democrats in that State, it was made
to give 700 Democratic majority. The
total voting strength of the State is 205,-
7s9. OF this 11S, $50 is colored and 5000
white. Allow $500 colored Democrats
an extravaganza allowance-and there are
113, $3.50 Republicans left without counting
the white Republicans, of whom there are
goodly number. Notwithstanding these
